The Spanish Picaresque has exploded the last scandal of the technological world. The 31 -year -old Extremaduran Entrepreneur Uni Nieto and his Chinese partner Eric Cui launched a mobile with which they dreamed two years ago to compete with Apple, but at a much economic price.
They had even come to the popular Apple brand and the Zetta -mobile phones wore a glans bitten in the purest land style. However, behind this history of entrepreneurship and innovation there is an alleged fraud that the Facua Consumer Association and many internet users have denounced this weekend through social networks.
Now, two years after he launched his Zeta Multiverso 5.5 model and had eight points of sale in Extremadura, fraud was discovered. Although the facts are still being investigated, Zetta is accused of selling Chinese Xiaomi -Mobile phones to those who have placed a sticker of their brand.
The outside of the Zetta, which was sold at around 300 euros, was identical to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, which costs around 150 euros. A sticker hid in the phone after the battery hid the Chinese brand logo.
On Sunday the company closed its website and claimed that it had been attacked (our website is being attacked, so it cannot be visited at the moment, they forgive the inconvenience.) And shortly after it did the same with his social networks.
Research for “mass fraud”
This Monday, Facua asked the Board of Extremadura the immediate opening of a study to clarify whether there has been a huge fraud by Zetta in the commercialization of his smartphone.
Facua spokesperson, Ruben Sánchez, has justified this request in the complaints since yesterday in social networks and media, which indicates that this mobile phone was “supposedly in extremadura” in Extremadura “, was nothing more than a device from another brand, made in China,” and where the housing has changed. “
Sánchez indicates that it is not that the company is ilocalizable, but that it refuses to make statements, so the issue “is pretty clear”, and that there have been irregularities. At present, neither in the civil guard nor the National Police have registered complaints for this alleged fraud, as reported by the government delegation.
If you have bought a Zetta Mobile, they have to return the money. They have closed their website. We hope that the office of the public prosecutor and the Board of Extremadura Act have warned about Facua yesterday.
The specialized technology websites were surprised that they would have made a mobile in just six months that would have been made from zero and with Android control software. According to internet users, the operating system was not developed by the company, but uses cyanogenic, open source software.
The president of the Extremadura Council, Guillermo Fernández Vara, met the two young entrepreneurs last November.
Consumption will analyze the case
The Ministry of Health and Social Policy of the Board of Extremadura today explained that the open controversy about the Zo -driven ‘smartphone extremadura’ will be analyzed by the General Secretariat of Consumer Policies.
It could be the case in which consumption will initiate a File Officio, because no claim has been collected in this respect today. Based on the nature of the aforementioned report, in the event that it will be carried out, the autonomous administration would accept every initiative or proposal, they have added the same sources that have excluded that the Board of Directors are trying this issue tomorrow.
Certain sectors could have detected a business niche, although not always lawful in sales in the west of cheap Asian terminals that seem to have their access to certain European markets, they add from internet users.
